The river begins in Kanchanaburi Province and flows across Ratchaburi Province and Samut Songkhram Province. The origin of the river is in Kanchanaburi town, at the confluence of the Khwae Noi and the Khwae Yai River rivers, having their sources in the eastern side of the Tenasserim Hills. It flows roughly southeastwards and southwards, often forming meanders across a wide floodplain. The river passes by the towns of Ban Pong and Ratchaburi in Ratchaburi Province. Finally it ends in a swampy delta by the town of Samut Songkhram and empties into the northwestern shore of the Bay of Bangkok, Gulf of Thailand. The main reservoir on the river is formed by the Mae Klong Dam.
